Perfect hot weather top

This is as pretty as in the picture... and it is very slimming! It is one of those pieces that can go from casual to dressy just by adding some jewelry. I expect to get a lot of use from it in our hot desert summers.

Wonderful blouse!

This blouse is a masterpiece. The fabric is light and will be cool in the summer heat. The colors are rich and vibrant and the batik pattern is gorgeous. I also have the jacket in this pattern to wear with a turquoise sheath dress. Delicious! And a great price!

"For me, the key to success is to be brave, strong, willing and honest."

"I'm Subur Hariyanto, but everyone calls me Hari. I was born in Blitar, home to the largest ancient Hindu temple in East Java and a semi-active volcano called Kelud Mountain. Blitar is also famous for its local fruits like rambutan and pineapple. I married a beautiful woman who was my classmate in high school and we have one daughter.

"My father was a tailor. He taught me to use a sewing machine and to make clothing. After three months, I was able to make my own shirts and pants, which I sold to my friends, neighbors and relatives.

"In 1989, I decided to move to Bali because friends said that a tailor could find more work there. Bali is so beautiful, with its tropical scenery, verdant landscapes, and stunning coast and beaches. Tradition, culture and art are very strong on the island. I opened a small tailor shop while my wife started a catering business. After a few years, my wife started to help me in my workshop.

"For me, the key to success is to be brave, strong, willing and honest. I got many orders after I moved to Bali. I could even hire friends from Java to help me here.

"One day, I met Arthur, a designer who was looking for a tailor in a textile shop. He needed a talented person to make his batik designs. We've been working together since 2001. He has taught me many things and always supported me to grow. We blend fashionable designs with ethnic patterns using high quality cotton, rayon and silk.

Hopefully, through Novica, more people worldwide will see and like my work."

Buana

Bali and Java

Before his days with NOVICA, Buana sold his jewelry designs door-to-door in the tourist areas of Bali. Business was tough, and local store owners were often slow to pay. All this changed when he joined NOVICA 7 years ago.

Buana now employs 28 of his neighbors to keep up with demand, and can now afford to send both of his children to school.
